I don't think such construction may work, programs would need to open stdin for the second time (appending to already open stdout works well). % cat some.jpg | convert jpg:/dev/stdin some.png convert: Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x49 0x4a (/dev/stdin) [Illegal seek]. > Is this a bug?

Yes, currently, using temp files would be reliable and portable: convert file.jpg /tmp/$$.png && fvwm-root -r /tmp/$$.png; rm -f /tmp/$$.png I think you may patch fvwm-root to support "-" file argument.
